The Eagles team needs to wake up.. if we jam teams like Egypt that play with zeal and passion, na basket we go use pack goals.

The knockout stages go tough gan.. no team come AFCON come sell ekpa.

Iwobi is a minus in the game , he was not in the midfield Defence or attack, even after the tactical switch he was not defending, he got not passion, just look at how Oshimen was passionate, he defends , drops to midfield and attack, we dnt need big names , we need players that will do the job, iwobi is more interested in swinging his dreads

MrPresident1:
The problem with the Super Eagles is that they cannot score. They need to evolve into a free scoring team. The strikers need to be more clinical in front of goal

Kelechi is the creativity key
So also Iwobi... but his positioned to play Central midfield which is hiding is potential to create goals...

If yusuf can regain fitness... he can replace iwobi while iwobi move upfront

Tactical switch or not, the eagles has to be more confident with the ball in and around the goal mouth. They missed so many changes and so do the host. Kudos to Nigerian goal keeper.

I pray next match will end 3-1 in favor of Nigeria

Thank God say no be Uzoho dey there

He has every reason to brag. Nobody gave the team any chances against the host nation. They shocked Nigerians with the result, so he has every reason to talk like a proud assistant coach.

You all these English premier leagues with pedestrian analysis grin grin grin. The coaching crew changed tactics and it worked for them. But it's no big deal because it's no rocket science abi?
temmyejo:
There was really no rocket science tact there Oga. The defence was magnificent, attack was below average but the midfield is nothing to write home about.
More so, there is no team work with Bright Osayi deciding to waste the chance instead of giving the goal to Kenneth Omeruo. The coach is doing well when it comes to making tactical decisions like choosing when to win, and when to play a drawl and not revealing his tactics to opponents he is likely to play in a competition. I also respected him for removing Oshimen to prevent a last minute injury in preparation for subsequent matches. He is a coach who understands you that you don't have to win all matches to win a cup like it is in leagues , winning the cup is the overall goal.

Flows001:

Did you read where he said that they had to switch formation?

Every game and team has a unique approach, the approach yesterday was the perfect one for a team like Ivory Coast.

It was not a perfect one. It was accepting that the Ivorians are better than us. Which to me is a disgrace and shows we have not grown as a team. We can celebrate the win but it was a testament that we are not quality. We need to grow as a team to be better than the Ivorians and we can not get there by sitting deep against them.

I was only citing specific inadequacies.......
The tact worked overall according to what I said, but the performance of individual players especially the attack is unimpressive....
Read again and understand that I gave credit to the defence and tactical crew....
I even implied how effective their substitutions were and how a critical chance was blown.....


Did you really watch the match?

They did well in the area of defence.

But somebody should tell Super Eagles that a team that cannot score goals cannot win the cup. A good team should have that ability not just to defend and hope for the best.

Re: Tactical Switch Earned Us Victory Against Cote D'ivoire - Finidi George by Seunfretty: 8:51am On Jan 19
The tactical switch gave us the win....it's just about going a step at a time...I don't rate this team much though ..they lack wat I want to see...

Against guinea bissau that's another avenue to try something different ..ofcourse I don't expect us to sit so much like we did against ivory coast yesterday ..against guinea we can start to device a way we can start imposing ourselves on the match...

Keeping the ball more and moving it much better from defence ...also connecting better in our attack cos if we had connected well on the break yesterday ivory coast would have conceeded a second...

We will look forward to how the approach the next match and give out comment but yesterdays game was won via tactical tweaking ...

Nigeria was just lucky...that was not a penalty.... God use the referee to favour nigeria...the problem of the team is the attack they are not effective

Yeye
Don't mind them. I won't watch super chickens until they advance to the last 16. We don't have a team yet. If not for the penalty,nothing for them. Useless peeps who bought Jersey to disgrace Nigeria all the Time. I blame the NFF who sells Jersey to the highest bidder.

Nah, we're clear as far as group stage is concerned. Even if we lose to Guinea Bissau (God forbid), we will still qualify as best loser with our current standing (once again God forbid).

Without that pk, super chickens for no fit win ivory coast.

Sadly they'll soon fumble against Guinea
Bro , you were talking as if we have not beat ivory coast before. Even , with arrays of their star in 2013, they were defeated. In Algiers 90, when we paraded local players and they paraded good names, like Yussuf Fofana, Abdullah Traore , they were beating. Nigerian and ivory coast Derby is always 50-50. It can go other way. When we were preparing for USA 94, we nearly beat them in Abidjan. If not because of chances that Siasia OKOCHA and Amuneke missed in that match we would have beat them 4 goals to nothing. They came to Lagos and ate 4 goals on reverce match. Yesterday match could have also went on their favour but luck on us as you said.
